VEHICLE-TIRE To all whom it concern:

. Beit known that we, Hanny Winsen' and CARL Gunnlnnitizens of the United States residing at MeKeesport in thecouut' ci lennsylvania, ave

invented rtainnew'and useful Im rovements in Vehicle-Tires, of which the fbllovw ing is a specication, reference being had to f the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates tonew and useful improvements in vehi'ple tires, and more particularly to improvements in pneumatic tires of either the single tube or doubletube '-`type.

The object of the invention is to protect the fabric body of the outer tire Casin and reinforce the latter for the purpose. o preventing punctures and blow-outs, and at the same time providing a tire casing which is capable of sustaining a high de eeof pressure applied to the air used toi ate the tire. Anot er object is t-o provide-a tire of this character which will possess Aadvantages in .pointsof efficiency and durability, is ine):`

pensive of manufacture and at tlisme time is simille in construction and ope' tion.

Wit the above and other objects in view,

' the invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and arran ment of parts hereinafter fully -descri d and claimed, and illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, in which there is illustrated a vertical transverse sectional view of a tire constructed in accordance with our invention. 4,

The present embodiment ofthe invention i shows a tire of the double-tube type conlsistin of a sheath ory tire casing 1 and an inner inliatable tube 2. The sheath or tire casing may be reinforced in any suitable and convenient manner by means of a canvas fabric body comprising layers of fabric 3, suitably disposed and incorporated and ex- A tending into the heel portions 4 of the tire casing as shown., As a means for eilectually reinforcing the'outer tire casing and rotecting the fabric body 3 and inner tu e 2, a metallic armor fabric 5 is embedded and'vulcanized therein bsaid armor fabric comprising a close-mes of woven wire, which extends throughout the tire casing longitudinally and transversely. The transversely disposed side portions, preferably extend in the heel portions 4, terminating in the hooked portions eifectually reinforcingthe Speoitcation of Letters Patent.
